Bring back the night, one better light at a time.

A retro platformer and playable field guide to responsible outdoor lighting. Cross five threatened nightscapes, correct the light, and watch the sky respond. More light is not how you win. Better light is.

Five worlds. Five lighting decisions.

The campaign follows the ROLAN hierarchy from the highest-impact decision to the most specific. Each world turns one principle into a physical action, then lets you see its effect on people, places, wildlife, and the sky.

The learning system

Learn by changing the night.

Captain Lumen teaches through consequence, not a lecture. Every correct action reduces sky glow, reveals more stars, and moves the world toward a quieter, safer night.

Land on fixtures to correct them. Calibrated lamps stay set. Chain corrections for bonus points, and watch for a warning before a guardian attacks. On touchscreens, use the arrow, Jump and Scan buttons.
